Texas-San Antonio was one of a dozen teams who clinched bowl bids during the Thanksgiving weekend.

The Roadrunners (6-6 overall, 5-3 Conference USA) will be going to their first bowl in program history after beating Charlotte 33-14 Saturday in the Alamodome.

At this point, 76 of the 80 bowl openings have now been wrapped up, including Army and Hawaii, who are not technically bowl eligible but are assured spots as replacement teams.
